beyond qr codes

Preview of Interactive Art Book by Stereo Abstract from Stereo Abstract on Vimeo.

I am currently working on a book showcasing a collection of my present artwork. I didn't want to add a bunch of text to the book itself, but I still want people to have an interactive experience... First I thought of using QR (quick response) codes on each page, which at first sounded awesome, then I found the "digital watermark" technology. The technology has been developed by a company called Digimarc, in the past it has only been used to copyright images regardless of any manipulation. Now with apps and codes and the internet, Digimarc is offering new options, Digimarc Discover is what I am going to use in my book... I'm pumped on the concept of the book itself, but this 'discovery' is going to make this book of mine pretty unique!

Stereo Abstract book?

I have been looking for a way to share more of my work with my friends and strangers alike, so I am building a book from cropped images of my paintings, it should be cool! What I like about this process is that I can control the composition of images beyond the original piece of art. The images take on new life and they will stimulate the viewer further. The next step is telling stories of what these new compositions mean to me, I'm actually really excited!  Here's a few previews of images I'm considering...  Which ones will make the cut?!

My plan is to have my book available for purchase from my Blurb account before Xmas...  Good gifts people!
